During the Ice Age (in the aftermath of Noah’s Flood), when language was confused at the Tower of Babel, some of the progeny of Tubal moved northward to the edge of the Ice Age glaciation where now is the Tobol river (which begins in northern Kazakhstan), and progeny of Gomer’s son Ashkenaz moved northward as well, east of Tubal’s progeny to where today is called the Sakha region or Siberia. Turkic language speakers live there, the Yakuts, kin of the progeny of Turqi who was a son of Togarmah and grandson of Gomer. The Sakha like the Scythians were named for the Ashkenazi (the Askuza in ancient Assyrian records), and some of those progeny of Japheth (the father of Tubal and Gomer) lived to the north of the Ice Age glaciation too, much of that land now submerged in the Arctic ocean which was much warmer during the Ice Age (in the aftermath of Noah’s Flood).
